Morning All.
I'd be interested to hear from you guys what you think about longterm wild camping. I've been offered a research job when I retire (contradiction in terms I know) that would require me spending anything from two to six weeks in
towns and cities of the EU. Someone is already a year into doing the same job in the UK and is about one third done. Home advantages there, of course.
My trip would not preclude the occasional relaxing stopover at a campsite or even small hotel for a bit of luxury now and again. The research budget is tight but I'd be happy to spend a couple of quid here and there of my hard earned pension. There will be opportunities for meeting up with grandkids in the hols etc., etc., so I won't be entirely nose to the grind stone.
Motorhome will be a medium sized, all mod. cons. left hooker. I'll have my dog for company, and of course communication and entertainment electronics. I'm keen on a bit of armchair sport and R4 and books and of course I will be writing up my research so I don't envisage being any more bored than I might be on a wet Sunday in Blighty.
What think you, oldtimers?
